(Crowne Plaza, 1c S, ½c E)
For the extremely down-to-earth, bohemian side of Bolonia, hit
the dance floor at this mostly outdoor neighborhood bar. Dress is extremely casual (jeans
and flip-flops OK), and the DJ spins laidback dance tunes into the early morning.
El Grillito
(Intur, ½c N)
There are a few little outdoor bars like this in the area, but this one consist-
ently gets a good crowd. A range of snacks and more substantial meals are on the menu
and the music volume is conversation-friendly.
BAR
Zona Hippo's
(Seminole Plaza, 1c S; noon-2am)
Wanna go where everybody knows your name? Global-
ization has arrived and it's called Hippo's Grill & Tavern, with nine different burgers, next
door to affiliated Woody's Sports Bar, with 15 types of hot wings. Both have Caesar
salads, plenty of 'flair,' nonthreatening rock music and very full bars.
BAR
El Puerto
(Rotonda Bello Horizonte, 80m E)
Ignore the lame disco out back (there are much better ones
in the area); this is the place to grab a beer on the front deck and do a bit of people-watch-
ing, before slipping inside for a couple of games of pool on surprisingly good tables.
BAR
Entertainment
